Omega - hey, Rome wasn't built in a day! LOL! Look at what you've already accomplished, that would've NEVER gotten done had you been drinking/hungover/doing a bit of hair of the dog.

What I do is I make a list called, "Things I Did This Weekend That I Could NOT Have Done Had I Been Drinking"...I write it all down, then refer back to it and go, "Wow..."

Here's the first one I wrote:

1) Grocery Shopping on Saturday
2) Make breakfast for hubby and I on Sunday
3) Made Beef Stew for Sunday dinner, and Made Meatloaf for dinner during week
4) Got my hair done
5) Returned some items to the store
6) Bought some cool make up at Sephora
7) Worked from home Sun night 3 hrs.
8) Slept peacefully and got "real" rest
9) I remembered everything I said and did all weekend

Things I didn't do:

1) Make an ass of myself at any point
2) Forget Friday and Saturday night in a black out
3) Have paralyzing anxiety shame and guilt
4) Sleep ALL DAY Sunday
5) Feel physically and mentally awful Mon-Wed.
6) Hate myself for doing it again
